When Concubine Yang heard that Li Shimin was going to summon the King of Wu, she suggested that the concubines disperse and let them discuss the important matters of the father and son.

After a moment, King Li Ke of Wu came to Qianbulang of Tai Chi Palace. When Li Shimin saw Li Ke coming so quickly, he knew that he was in the East Palace just now, so he was a little displeased and said, "What are you doing in the East Palace all day?"

On the way Li Ke came, he asked the eunuch who had passed the imperial edict and knew that it was a pigeon flying back from Luoyang that flew to Li Shimin by mistake.

Why do you say that you are in the East Palace all day long?

However, Li Ke was respectful in front of Li Shimin and hurriedly saluted and replied: "By Father, my son is helping His Highness train his pigeons recently."

Li Shimin glanced at the white pigeon after hearing this and said lightly: "Did you train this pigeon?"

"When I go back to my father, my son mainly controls the arrangement and personnel arrangement of pigeon stations in various places." Li Ke replied honestly.

Li Shimin nodded and pointed at the dove in the hand of the eunuch and said, "Did this dove fly back from Luoyang?"

Li Ke took the pigeon and looked at the bamboo tube tied on the pigeon's legs and replied: "Brother, this is the pigeon flying back from Luoyang."

Li Shimin nodded again after hearing this, saying, "What do you want to do when the rebellious son trains these pigeons?"

"Return to Father, His Highness the Crown Prince wants to use these pigeons to convey military information and some important government affairs."

Li Shimin thought to himself that the rebellious son was going to steal the military power. He immediately said, "Where else do you brothers want to unite with?"

Li Ke was shocked when he heard this and bowed quickly, "My son, don't dare!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly when he heard this, "You don't dare, that traitor dares."

When Li Ke heard that he was going to make a misunderstanding, he hurriedly knelt down on his knees and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has no intention. Your Highness the Crown Prince just wanted to think that the Tang Dynasty was originally vast and long. Now the military information transmission speed was too slow, so he asked his sons to train pigeons in the East Palace to think that it was used to convey military information.

And it is also planned to take one or two years to arrange the Tang Dynasty to the east to prepare for the eastern expedition of Goguryeo. Now it has been arranged to Luoyang to go east, so there is no intention of colluding with the border troops in private."

Seeing that Li Ke was so cautious, Li Shimin thought that even if Li Chengqian really wanted to do something ruthless, he would not say anything to him. So he sighed and helped Li Ke up and said, "Then look at what is written on this note?"

Li Ke took it and took a look and answered truthfully: "Back to my father, what is said is that the Ministry of War Li Shangshu quelled the rebellion of the King of Qi and returned triumphantly. He led his troops outside Luoyang City last night."

Li Shimin remembered the memorials of Li Shiji a few days ago, and it was time to go outside Luoyang City to calculate the time and distance. He nodded and asked again: "What is the writing on it, how can you understand it at a glance?" This is what Li Shimin cares most about.

"By Father, there are only some numbers on it." Li Ke said as he walked up to Li Shimin, pointed to the small numbers, and told Li Shimin one by one the corresponding one, two, three, and four of the Arabic numerals...

Li Shimin recognized it for a long time and said, "Even if these are numbers, how do you know what is written in it?"

Li Ke heard this and said, "Get this book."

The eunuch who was serving next to him quickly brought a book of the Analects of Confucius.

Li Ke told Li Shimin that the first two numbers represent the number of pages, the third number represents the number of lines, and the fourth number represents the number of words.

Li Shimin hurriedly searched in the Analects of Confucius according to the numbers for a long time, but after writing all the words out, he found that nothing was wrong, and couldn't help but glar at Li Ke and think that it was Li Ke who was lying to him.

Li Ke smiled bitterly when he saw this and said, "Father, the password on this piece of paper does not correspond to this book, but a book compiled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which is under the charge of two eunuchs."

Li Shimin was so angry that he threw the Analects of Confucius and notes on the table and said, "Then how can you tell what is written here at a glance?"

Li Ke hurriedly said, "Go back to my father, today at the Mao hour of Luoyang, thirty pigeons were released, twenty-four pigeons had flew back when I came. The reason why I knew the above was because I had just interpreted it by the eunuch in the East Palace."

Li Shimin thought to himself that no one trusted the rebellious son, and Ke'er was so loyal to him that he was guarded against.

Thinking of this, he sighed and said, "Okay, let's not talk about these things anymore. It's already noon, so you can have lunch with me."

"Thank you, Father."

Five days later, Li Shiji, Minister of War and Liu Dewei, Minister of Justice, suppressed the rebellion and escorted King Li You of Qi and a group of rebels who followed Li You to rebel back to Chang'an.

Li Shimin summoned them in Liangyi Hall. Li You's rebellion was a glorious thing to the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin, so the three people in Liangyi Hall just said a few simple words and exposed the matter.

Then Li Shimin looked at Liu Dewei and said, "Since Liu Shangshu has returned to Chang'an City, he will go back to the department to work after a few days of rest. The prince is impatient and has recently handled many gentry in Guanzhong. Liu Qing's family went to the Ministry of Justice to see if he could forgive him."

Liu Dewei just came back and didn't know how much Li Shimin and Li Chengqian had a fight. When he heard Li Shimin's order in person, he quickly agreed: "I obey the order."

Li Shimin was in a bad mood, so Li Shiji and Liu Dewei got up and retreated. Only when Li Shiji stood up did he think of something, so he hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and presented it with both hands and said, "Talk Your Majesty, this is the letter written by the King of Wu to the King of Qi who was found in the Qi Palace.

Xinchen has read it. It was written by Quan Wanji after impeached the King of Qi. In the letter, His Highness of the King of Wu tried hard to persuade the King of Qi to come to Chang'an as soon as possible to admit his mistake..."

Li Shimin hurriedly signaled the eunuch to answer the letter. When he opened it, he saw that it was written by King Li Ke of Wu. The content was indeed to persuade Li You to return to Chang'an to admit his mistake. The letter stated that as long as Li You came back, Li Chengqian would also speak for Li You.

After reading Li Ke's letter, Li Shimin also remembered the seemingly nonsense criticism of Li Chengqian when Quan Wanji impeached Li You that day. He said secretly: If Li Chengqian had made a fool of himself at that time, he would not have to kill Li You now.

After sighing for a while, Li Shimin looked up and said, "It is said that King Li Ke of Wu is here to see him."

After a while, Li Ke came to Liangyi Hall to pay tribute. Li Shimin gave him a seat and handed the letter to Li Ke and said, "Is this your letter to Li You?"

Li Ke took it and saw it, he nodded and replied: "That's right."

"Why did you write a letter to persuade the beast to return to Chang'an?" Li Shimin asked in Li Ke's eyes.

"Return to Father, it was written by His Highness the Crown Prince." Li Ke replied truthfully.

"Oh!" Li Shimin became even more puzzled.

"At that time, when Quan Wanji wrote a letter to impeach Lao Wu, the crown prince saw that this was true. He just thought that Lao Wu had too many villains, so he could give him some advice to assassinate Quan Wanji, and give him some other ideas.

His Highness the Crown Prince was afraid that Lao Wu would make any big mistakes again, so he wanted to persuade Lao Wu to return to Chang'an. Then His Highness the Crown Prince would take action to kill the villain around Lao Wu and then strictly control Lao Wu.

But Lao Wu’s wife is Wei Ting’s daughter. At that time, Wei Ting’s family had just been dealt with by His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness was afraid that he would be too concerned, so he asked his son-in-law to write this letter to Lao Wu.”

Li Shimin was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and asked again: "What you said is true?"

Li Ke hurriedly bowed and said solemnly: "Everything that my son said is true, otherwise I would not dare to write a letter to the old fifth person at that time."

Li Shimin believed it after hearing this, nodded and said, "I heard that the fourth brother's wife lives in your mansion?"

Li Ke hurriedly said, "This is also the arrangement of His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Oh!" Li Shimin became even more curious when he heard this, and said for a while: "Although the Fourth Brother's death was his own fault, he should not torture him. It's just that he is still conscience and let you take care of the Fourth Brother's wife."

When Li Ke heard this, he realized that Li Shimin had such a deep misunderstanding about Li Chengqian. He hurriedly got up and walked to the middle of the hall and knelt down and said, "I told my father that when the prince ordered his son to take in Lao Si's wife, he wanted to let Lao Si go to Zhaoling to guard the tomb for his mother. He was just worried that someone would use Lao Si's wife again, so he ordered someone to break Lao Si's legs, so that Lao Si could live the second half of his life safely.

But I didn’t expect that the fourth brother was arrogant and unwilling to live like this and actually committed suicide in prison.”

"What? Chengqian broke Qingque's legs in order to let him have a way out?" Li Shimin couldn't believe it.

Seeing Li Ke nodding, Li Shimin still couldn't believe that he had misunderstood Li Chengqian. After a while, he waved his hand to signal Li Ke to withdraw.

"Go and bring the suicide note written by Qingque to me and the secret memorial of Yu Zhining." Seeing Li Ke walk out, Li Shimin said with a gloomy face.

Li Shimin took the suicide note written by Li Tai to him and did not open it. The content of the suicide note was already deeply rooted in his heart. He put down Li Tai's suicide note and picked up the secret memorial written by Yu Zhining. In this secret memorial, Li Chengqian forced Li Tai to despise Yu Zhining and Changsun Wuji's participation in the rebellion.

Li Shimin read Yu Zhining's memorial again and said in his heart: "Get the files of the Qingque Rebellion case in Li Yi's mansion."

When Li Yi's mansion reported this file, Li Chengqian had already beaten all the prisoners to death at Zhuque Gate.

The angry Li Shimin threw it out without even looking at it. Later, the eunuch put it away and put it away.

This was the first time Li Shimin opened it. Li Shimin saw neat fly-headed small calligraphy, exquisite sentences, and every rebel against each other. There was no flaw. Finally, what was important was that after reading all the files, Li Shimin did not have any content about Zhining and Changsun Wuji. Even if they involved their tribesmen, they did not involve them at all.

Li Shimin was very confused with Li Chengqian's strong and domineering nature. If he really wanted to use the case of Li Tai's rebellion to get involved with Yu Zhining and Changsun Wuji, even if there was no evidence, he would have to rely on three points and let them get rid of their skin.

Li Chengqian did not mention Yu Zhining and Changsun Wuji in the case either when he was hearing the case or in the file. Li Tai left a suicide note to slander Li Chengqian before he died. It was because Li Tai hated Li Chengqian the most, and he would naturally not let Li Chengqian go even if he died.

But how did Yu Zhining know about this?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he snorted coldly and wrote: "A villain is in the line, and it is a traitor; a cunning person is the piss, and evil will be great. The right concubine's son, Liyang County Duke, came from the village of the country, and his words and deeds are rarely praised. He has no trouble in the country, but he has been killed by his old crimes. He has been killed by his son, but he has been to the old man who has been with him for his past experience and cannot bear to be hung up. It is better to avoid the burden of his family and give him to commit suicide.

After writing, Li Shimin looked up and said, "Tell me that the King of Jin will come to see me." The eunuchs in the palace hurried out to pass the imperial edict.

At a moment, Li Zhi came in and saluted and said, "Son Master, please see the father."

When Li Shimin heard this, he didn't raise his head and said lightly: "Premium, go to Yu Zhining's mansion to announce the imperial edict. After watching Yu Zhining commit suicide, he went to the Ministry of Justice to pass my oral edict to ask them to send Changsun Wuji to Qiongzhou quickly." Li Shimin said emotionally.

Seeing that Li Shimin was so scared, Li Zhi turned pale. He was about to speak, but he saw Li Shimin wavering his hand and said, "Go quickly."
